RENO, NV (Oct. 31) — Great weekend for kids with five days of Trunk or Treat events and the final oval track race in our region. And there’s more to come over the next few weeks.
Reporter’s Note: Due to physical problems was unable to attend the Halloween race but am including the results at the end of this article. As a result it’s going to be shorter than my usual Monday post. And want to give a special thanks to those photographers that helped me with their submissions.
• This past weekend, due to a schedule conflict, Diamond Mountain Speedway, held it’s Halloween races at Rattlesnake Raceway in Fallon. This time it was a Friday-Saturday evening show.
On Friday Shawn Natenstedt won the IMCA Modified feature while Tyler Rodgers was the Northern Sport Mod winner and Travis Showe scored the Mini Stock victory. Susanville promoter Jeff Olschowka won in Street Stocks while Wade Kennemore was the IMCA Stock Car winner.
Before the Saturday heat races began there was a Trunk or Treat session on the front straight for all the kids in attendance. Once that was done the racing began.
Saturday’s winners were Chris Nieman for IMCA Modifieds while Tyler Rodgers won the Northern Sportmod main. Travis Showe made it a sweep when he won in Mini Stocks as did Jeff Olschowka in Stocks and Wade Kennemore also swept the weekend when he won IMCA Stock Cars.
There are more results at the end of this article.
• Saturday evening is when the Northern Nevada Classics held their Trunk or Treat at the Reno Town Mall. There were many types of cars and trucks, some decorated while others weren’t.
The youngsters in attendance were able to get many treats from the a various cars, especially those that were open and full of treats. There were also trophies for best costumes and decorated cars.
• On Sunday evening there was another Trunk or Treat event. This time it was at St. Lukes Lutheran church on Lakeside Drive just off the end of Peckham.
There was a huge crowd with many kids, and those young at heart in costume. Everything from trucks to tail gates had the promise of treats and everyone was having a good time not to mention youngsters with bright eyes and huge smiles.
• Finally on Monday, both the actual Nevada Day and Halloween the National Auto Museum held its annual Trunk or Treat. The parking lot was pack as all kind of youngsters, those young at heart and parents flocked to see what was going on.
Several of the cars on display were decked out for the day. Including this vintage fire engine. Besides candy one popular attraction was Sam Guy, the Balloon Guy. He was making balloon in all different shapes and sizes.
After asking a youngster what they wanted he would create a balloon sculpture they asked for. In the picture the boy with the red on his shoulder asked for a shark and Sam is putting the name on it.
After 6:30 the theme turns into Fright Night is more for the older kids and adults. It’s a safe way to end the long Halloween weekend. Of course in various neighborhoods the usual Trick or Treat kids were out a well.
